Chapter 7 Chapter Six

Is it happiness or misery?Ming Enhua doesn't want to think about this problem for the time being, she just wants to indulge as much as possible while her dream is still beautiful.Don't guess the king's mind, ignore the warnings coming from the heart. When the man she looked up to condescended to her and tried his best to create for her the most extreme dream a woman could have, how could she, how would she want to wake up? No matter what the reason is, as long as you use your heart, you will be fine. As long as it can make her intoxicated and feel loved for a moment, that's enough.No matter what happened, the loss that never came to an end was like a shadow.

What could she ask of a king?As an emperor's wife, happiness and happiness have never been related to love.She knew it rationally, but what could she do if she fell in love with a king? In May, the coastal defense in the west was victorious, the Ming family was powerful, and the holy family was flourishing inside and outside the palace. Since then, she fell into the honey urn, and was so sticky that she couldn't get out.Throughout late May, she monopolized Jun's grace, and the King stayed in Mingxia Palace for ten consecutive days, finally breaking the peace and balance of the harem for two years.

In the palace, Ming Enhua is loved and monopolized by thousands of people; outside the palace, because Ming Jingfang was named Dinghai County King, from the first rank, with five thousand households in the city, not only has the fief, but the title can be inherited for three generations!This can be said to be the first precedent for the Sun Yao Dynasty. This kind of honor is already comparable to that of the royal family. Heroes with foreign surnames have never been entitled to enjoy it, but the Ming family has it! The Ming family changed from an official aristocrat to a royal family with foreign surnames, thus rewriting the history of the Sunshine Dynasty. Emperor Ziguang officially issued an edict: those who have made great contributions to the country in the future can be named knights; The fiefdom, sharing the right to guard the fief with the royal family.This move naturally caused an uproar at home and abroad, and at the same time inspired the enthusiasm of the soldiers who had been guarding the bitter cold and the frontier for many years to defend their homes and the country.Although matters such as conferring titles are still waiting to be discussed and perfected by first-rank officials such as Zuo Pushe, Zhong Shuling, and Shi Zhong, but with the example of the Ming family in the past, it is obvious how much glory the same meritorious deeds can get in the future!

Everyone is guessing that the third queen of the Sun Dynasty is about to appear! It's not because of her own meritorious deeds for the country, but because of political needs, she is pushed to the next position.Remuneration or wooing, rebellion or reward, Ming Enhua must be established by Emperor Ziguang as the queen of the world, and jointly govern the Sunyao Dynasty with the emperor. Establishing a queen represents the decentralization of power by the emperor.The queen's status is extremely high, not only can rule the inner court, but also participate in state affairs, have the power to listen, and provide advice.Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties did not easily establish a queen, and courtiers did not easily suggest it.

However, due to the current situation, in Emperor Ziguang's generation, I am afraid that there must be a queen.And the emperor didn't seem to resist, and was making such a layout In June, the emperor held a grand feast of thousands of lotuses, which was appointed by Ming Enhua to be hosted by Ming Enhua, co-organized by Wing Chun Palace and Jinqiu Palace.Not only is it necessary to choose a new concubine to enter the royal gate, but also to grandly entertain the Lord and Princess of the Sea China. In addition to forming brothers and allies and discussing the distribution of spoils and sea rights, etc., I heard that the two countries are about to marry. If there is no accident, Princess Haiji, the most beautiful woman in China, is about to enter the Tibetan Hermitage that has been vacant for two years.

Now that China has launched the first beauty to enter the harem, how can the majestic Sun Yao Dynasty be compared?So the ministers of the family put all their energy into seeking beauties from the people everywhere, taking advantage of the opportunity every three years when the 25-year-old palace maids were released from the palace to make up for new palace maids, they gave away dozens of innocent and beautiful folk women. Come in.I want to say that even if there are only 20 ladies to be drafted, there are only delicate beauties, and there are not half stunning, then there must be some among the court ladies.

All of a sudden, there were so many beauties in the harem's selection of maids, so beautiful that the guards who usually patrol the harem's safety were distracted, always vying for the opportunity to patrol the harem, just to see more beauties. The Ming family, which has gained power, is always in the limelight. Although the head of the family is self-disciplined and has strict supervision over the children of the family, he has never been rich and wealthy, and this is something that cannot be controlled.When the government was afraid of the power of the Ming family and turned a blind eye to the behavior of its unworthy children, it naturally fueled its arrogance and walked on the road of domineering. No one dared to control or sue. Go to the head of the Ming family.

There is such a good taste in impunity and lawlessness that it is almost like a fairy.The noble and idle young masters of the Ming family, after eating their marrow and knowing their taste, naturally learned a famous saying through the ages: Wang Fa?Young master, I am Wang Fa! It is not uncommon for people to fight with others for small incidents.Later, he became even more courageous. He didn't even pay attention to the royal family with the surname. He actually whipped Prince Chengwei off his horse in broad daylight and in full view of the public. Only after seeing his disheveled face did he burst out laughing. He walked away, completely ignoring the other party and breaking his leg.

Naturally, this matter was brought up in front of the emperor.One side is the down-and-out six generations of the royal family, with no one in the family as an official in the court, and they live with the royal family's small salary every year; while the other side is the Ming family that even the emperor treats them three-thirds of the time. children.There was no suspense at all, the emperor really just called Ming Shencheng, the servant of the troubled young master's father, and said a few words.He didn't even ask Ming Shencheng to lead his unworthy son to apologize to the injured son, but only asked him to discipline his son and shut himself up at home to think about his mistakes, and the matter would be over.

Ming Enhua knew that wealth would inevitably lead to depravity, but when she heard this, she was still in such a bad mood that she couldn't even eat her lunch.After coaxing the two children to take a nap, they sat silently on the bamboo couch, neither talking nor reading, and not even the slightest bit of sleepiness. Empress.Ming Cui quietly walked over and let out a low cry. What's up?Ming Enhua frowned slightly and asked. Mrs. Ming Shilang asked to see her and was waiting in the hall. Why did you come here suddenly?Have you sent a greeting card before?After Ming Enhua asked, he mockingly guessed: I don't think so.

This post is sent.Ming Cui pointed to a copy of the invitation card in her hand.He also said: "The palace guards dare not stop, and neither does the Visiting Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After signing it briefly, they let the servant's wife come to Mingxia Palace." Why did my aunt come here?Isn't she proud of herself?His tone was full of impatience. Maybe it's still to ask for an official for the Eleventh Young Master.Ming Cui guessed.I remember that Mrs. Shi Lang came here twice in a row, both to ask for an official position for her only son, and insisted that the empress use the wish bestowed by the emperor on this. Although she didn't achieve it, she never gave up.The hostess said that Mrs. Minister's expression was a little anxious, as if she had to see you. Ming Enhua lightly rubbed her forehead, Ming Cui hurried over when she saw this, and began to massage her carefully. Want to see you?Empress. let her in.I wonder what she can say! Seeing that the master was so impatient, Ming Cui nodded, went outside, and told the female official outside: Three quarters later, lead the servant's wife to visit the empress.For now, take good care of me. yes.The female officer understood and withdrew. Empress, you must save your cousin Jinglian!As soon as he stepped in, after seeing him, Mrs. Shi Lang started to cry. Why did my aunt say that?Don't cry yet, sit and talk.Ming Enhua said lightly. Helped by the maid to sit down, the servant's wife whimpered for a while, seeing that Ming Enhua hadn't spoken to her, and she didn't do anything to comfort her, she felt so sad in her heart, she finally stopped and said in a hoarse voice: Empress, that Zhang Zhifu is also Concubine Zhang's elder brother is too much!Concubine Zhang is only a small side concubine, and Zhang Zhifu is only a small host and guest member, how dare they bully my Ming family!Empress, please make the decision for Jinglian! Ming Enhua slowly opened his mouth and said: A little host and guest member Wailang?This official is big enough, how could my aunt slander the court officials so lightly, let alone the concubines in the harem that my aunt can easily negotiate? Empress!Does our Ming family still need to be afraid of offending anyone? !The servant's wife cried out angrily. Aunt's words are inappropriate, please don't say them again in the future.Ming Enhua said with a dark face. Mrs. Minister's face was even worse, thinking that Ming Enhua shouldn't be so rude to her, she was so angry that she didn't speak, and turned her face away. Ming Enhua ignored her and drank tea alone. After a while, Mrs. Minister could not help it: Ma'am, you have to help me with this matter anyway.This time Jinglian is innocent!He was harmed by Concubine Zhang and the others. They were jealous of our Ming family, and they wanted to bring us down for a long time. Ming Enhua listened to his aunt's vague speech, but he didn't want to understand it deeply, because she didn't want to care about it.Only said indifferently: At noon, Bengong just heard about the deeds of cousin Jinglian beating Chengwei's son in the street a few days ago, causing him to throw a horse and break his leg. He thought it was news; unexpectedly, Bengong was still ignorant. The court officials made a fuss. This time it was Zhang's family who provoked Mrs. Shi Lang, who was very angry and wanted to argue immediately. But Ming Enhua interrupted her: How can a person who should stay at home, read and think behind closed doors, go outside and be messed with? This, if this is not the case, why did she come to the palace to ask Ming Enhua for help!Madam Shi Lang cursed secretly in her heart.One must know that the Ming family is very powerful now, and the favor of the Ming Xia Palace is still due to the Ming family's glory!No matter what, you can't just watch something happen to your loved ones, can you?You must help with this matter! Ming Enhua really doesn't know why her aunt relies on her for her strength?Why does she have to help?Besides, how could she be able to help?When she is really favored enough to make the emperor protect her indiscriminately? Aunt, I don't know what conflict happened between my cousin and the Zhang family, and I don't want to know.If your cousin commits a crime, and the matter is so serious that you don't consider asking for help at home, but you have to come to me, then you will overestimate me.I don't have the ability to deal with things that even the head of the family can't do anything about. how come? !You are the concubine!The majestic emperor's concubine!And you still have a wish bestowed by the emperor, isn't it?You can use it to protect your own cousin!The servant's wife shouted anxiously, unable to forgive Ming Enhua's refusal. a wish!Ming Enhua suddenly looked at his aunt with some pity.It has been more than half a month, and the emperor no longer cares about the jokes, why are there still people here thinking about wishful thinking! Aunt, if the incident caused by your cousin is so serious that you think of that wish, then I think no one can do anything about it. no!Empress, Jinglian is right!he just Ming Enhua didn't want to hear it at all, and said in a tired way: well, auntie, would you please Ming Enhua was about to see off the guests, but suddenly a loud announcement came from outside: The emperor arrives Even if the Master Attendant announces his voice, it must be a formal welcome ceremony rather than a family ceremony or a common ceremony.Ming Enhua quickly asked Ming Cui to dress up and wear a crown.The servant's wife, who seldom saw the emperor and had never seen the emperor, was even more shocked and at a loss, and signaled the accompanying maid to come over and take care of it. See the emperor, the emperor Wanan.Ming Enhua led the crowd to kneel by the door to greet them. Aifei flat body.Emperor Ziguang strode in, supported Ming Enhua with one hand, walked towards the first seat while holding her hand, and sat down together. I have seen the Empress of Mingxia Palace.Concubine Zhang greeted Ming Enhua after she sat down. Only then did Ming Enhua see that Concubine Zhang had come with the emperor. Concubine Zhang is free, please sit down.Ming Enhua noticed that Concubine Zhang's eyes were red, she seemed to have cried a lot. The other people kneeling by the door could only kneel dryly without daring to move without the emperor yelling.And Emperor Ziguang seemed to have forgotten that there were a large number of people kneeling by the door, and among those people, there was a court official's wife, and this court official's wife was from Sheng Enzhenglong's Ming family. Ming Enhua did not immediately remind the emperor of this small negligence.Let Mrs. Shi Lang kneel on the ground first, and focus on Concubine Zhang.She felt that Concubine Zhang came here with the emperor at this moment, she must have come to ask for the same thing as Mrs. Shilang, and Concubine Zhang had already complained to the emperor. The servant's wife has been crying in front of her for so long, as long as she decides to help her cousin out, but she can't explain what happened vaguely, then it is certain that Ming Jinglian must be wronged this time, so Concubine Zhang took this opportunity to seize the opportunity It shouldn't be a trivial matter to come to Xingshi to inquire about crimes and persuade the emperor to come to uphold justice. Ming Enhua had something in mind. She couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking at the moment, but no matter how he would handle this matter, she would not be blamed for the time being.Whether it's to win over the Ming family, or because of his desire to clean up the harem, at this moment, he will maintain the attitude of pampering her to heaven, and will not return to normal so soon. After taking a sip of the tea served by Ming Enhua himself, Emperor Ziguang said: Concubine Ai, I thought that at this moment, you should be taking a nap with the child, and I didn't want to come over to wake you up.Why is he in such good spirits today, Mingxia Palace looks very lively. He took the teacup that the emperor drank, put it back on the small table, and when he sat down again, the little hand that was held just now was lightly held by him again.She lowered her head, not wanting others to see the shame in her eyes, and said softly: The concubine wanted to invite people from the House of Internal Affairs to discuss the final decision of the Thousand Lotus Banquet while the child was sleeping, so that the people below could make full preparations.Mrs. Minister of the Minister came to visit unexpectedly, and talked about the family life with the concubine. The concubine felt that she was in good spirits, so she met her. Emperor Ziguang glanced lightly at the noble lady who was kneeling by the door and did not dare to look up, then looked back at Ming Enhua: Oh, that was the wrong time for me to disturb you and your family. Ming Enhua said respectfully: It's okay, what is the emperor talking about, it's really disgraceful to the concubine, the concubine can't afford it. Just tell you, don't be too polite to me like this again, you are my concubine, you are always polite, wouldn't it be unfair? Obviously, Emperor Ziguang didn't want to get down to the topic for a while, and the topic was rambling and chatting without content. He was not in a hurry, and Ming Enhua was not in a hurry, but the two victims beside him were in a hurry. Concubine Zhang didn't understand why the emperor continued to greet Mingxia Palace. Ming Jinglian not only insulted and beat the court official, that is, her brother; the most serious thing was that Ming Jinglian offended the Chinese envoy at sea, and at the same time spoke frivolously. It is a major event enough to kill the Chinese princess Hai Ji who is about to enter the palace as a concubine! The emperor was obviously very upset when he heard that, so he brought her to Mingxia Palace together, why is it that nothing happened at this moment? !Why do you forget all your anger when you see Mingxia Palace? !When did her wise emperor become like this?Concubine Zhang felt angry and uncomfortable, and almost shed tears again. And the servant lady who was kneeling by the door couldn't stand it anymore!She could guess from the battle that the Zhang family had already reported to the emperor first, and the current situation seemed to be completely unfavorable to her, because the emperor was invited by Concubine Zhang, and the emperor didn't even look at her, and didn't call out. , and when she does not exist, she is at a great disadvantage! no!No matter what, she must regain the disadvantage and not let the Zhang family be complacent.Once this family is proud, won't her son be unlucky?No!She will not let her son suffer any harm! Just when Mrs. Shi Lang's eyes rolled and she couldn't stay still anymore, Ming Enhua said to Emperor Ziguang before she spoke recklessly: Your Majesty, the concubine's aunt has already bid farewell to the concubine, can you give her the grace to retire? Emperor Ziguang smiled and said: Yeah?I just came and said I would leave, don't you want to see me? Your Majesty, Mrs. Ming's grandeur is so impressive that even the Emperor doesn't care about her!Concubine Zhang was overjoyed, and before Ming Enhua could defend herself, she spoke in a down-to-earth manner. How can Madam Shi Lang allow others to slander her in front of the emperor? !In a hurry, without even thinking about it, I blurted out: No!Your majesty, the courtiers did not, did not say they were going to leave, it was the empress who drove me away Ming Enhua's complexion changed, and he tried his best to restrain his trembling body, so that no one could see it.She wanted to secretly withdraw the hand that was still gently held by the emperor, but unexpectedly, the big palm that was holding her lightly, seemed to know her intention to retreat, and held her small hand firmly before her, the strength was so strong that it made her feel a little painful .But neither of them changed their faces because of this. She still lowered her head, and the emperor still looked at Mrs. Assistant Minister with a half-smile, as if the activities covered under the sleeves of the two did not exist. After all, the servant lady was not too stupid, she immediately shut up when she realized that she had said something wrong, but the damage caused by just a few words has already made Concubine Zhang very satisfied. Yo?What's the matter?How could Mingxia Palace drive away its elders?Could it be that Mrs. Shi Lang did something to make the empress angry?Or was she reprimanded by the empress for no reason?It doesn't matter if you say it.The emperor is here, and he will definitely give you a fair holy order. The courtier's wife is innocent, please forgive me!The servant's wife knelt down in front of the emperor, covered in cold sweat. You are indeed innocent, but it is not such a trivial matter that you need to ask for my forgiveness.Emperor Ziguang finally looked at Ming Enhua, and said in a voice so gentle that it made her tremble all over: "My concubine, I will not go around with you, and I will ask you directly."Just then I met many people, besides Concubine Zhang and Zhang Zhifu, there were also the servants of the Ministry of Rites and the envoys from China.They told me that the son of Ming Shencheng, the servant of the door, knew the identity of Princess Haiji, and beat Zhang Zhifu in the street.The seriousness of this matter lies not only in the beating of the court officials, but also in the huge damage to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, not to mention that Princess Haiji is about to become the official concubine of the Tibetan Winter Palace. Princess Haiji's humiliation is tantamount to insulting the friendship between the two countries With royal face. is not that right?Deliberately destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries is regarded as treason; and insulting the royal concubine is like insulting the emperor, and a thousand cuts to death is not enough to pay for the crime.The legal code of our Tianyao Dynasty is clearly recorded!I think Niang Niang should be very clear because she has read so much poetry and books.Concubine Zhang gloated and said. Ming Enhua's face was pale, and under Emperor Ziguang's clenched hand, he raised his head wordlessly.He asked her to lift it, and she lifted it.Looking at him quietly, his expression seemed to be very embarrassed, as if he wanted to cover up no matter what, even if it violated his principles. Emperor Ziguang really seemed to want to find a way to excuse her and her family, so he continued: I was very unhappy to hear that, but I also didn't believe that Ming Shencheng's son would be so bold that he even dared to belittle the emperor's wife.So, I came here to hear what you have to say.Come and analyze for me, why does Ming Shencheng's son dare to be so lawless?Is it because one side's words are not credible?Or is there something else hidden?It doesn't matter if you say it, I will deal with it fairly. Before Ming Enhua could respond, someone else took the conversation away. Of course, it's a one-sided statement, and there are more hidden feelings, Your Majesty!Please be aware of the emperor!Shi Lang's wife, who was trembling all over and was about to faint from nervousness, shouted hastily as if she had caught a chance. Concubine Zhang frowned first, and was about to say something, but after thinking about it for a moment, she immediately smiled maliciously: oh?Is there something hidden?Mrs. Ming, then you have to talk about it carefully, who is it that backs up Young Master Ling to let him deliberately belittle the imperial concubine, intending to tarnish the princess's innocence, ruin her reputation, and lose her eligibility to enter the palace?This concubine expects such a bold thing, if no one instigates it behind her back, Mr. Ling would not dare to do it.A pair of big eyes moved between Ming Enhua and Mrs. Shi Lang, the meaning of which is self-evident.Then he said: Young Master Ling made such a big mistake in the morning, Madam, you can't wait to come to Mingxia Palace Empress in a blink of an eye, do you want to claim credit?Or do you want to discuss some important matter in the aftermath? You, you, you are spitting blood!not like this!You nonsense!you!You soon realized that you were falling into Concubine Zhang's trap, and the servant's wife screamed in shock. presumptuous!The emperor is here, how can you allow you to shout rudely!Besides, what is Concubine Zhang's identity, how dare you, a little servant lady, offend you so quickly, ask the emperor for forgiveness, and apologize to Concubine Zhang!Ming Enhua jumped in front of Concubine Zhang and scolded in a cold voice. It was the first time for Mrs. Shi Lang to see such a stern expression on Ming Enhua's face. After being taken aback, she habitually wanted to retort, but fortunately she still had a sliver of reason, and immediately followed suit after considering the current situation.Although the expression is stiff, but the tone is much more gentle: Please forgive the crime of disrespect for the minister's wife, please forgive the disrespect of the minister's wife.The minister's wife lost her manners in front of the imperial court, and she is willing to be punished. snort.Concubine Zhang snorted coldly, ignored Mrs. Ming who was kneeling on the ground, turned around and looked at the emperor with great aggrieved eyes. Your majesty, the concubine doesn't have to care about the matter of the concubine's elder brother being beaten.After all, compared to the injured royal face, and the offended overseas Chinese envoy, the little flesh and blood injuries of the concubine's elder brother are insignificant.In any case, this matter has to be explained to the Haizhong envoy and the princess. All of this must be investigated and found out, especially the mastermind behind the scenes must be found out. After hearing this, Emperor Ziguang looked at Ming Enhua and said: What do you think? Ming Enhua was quiet for a while, and said in the most gentle tone: Your Majesty, the courtiers have no understanding of the whole incident.However, since the matter is related to the Ming family, can I ask my concubine to ask Concubine Zhang three questions in order to understand the situation at that time, and then report back to the emperor what my concubine thinks about this matter? It seemed that Emperor Ziguang was finally interested in this matter until now.Although he concealed it extremely skillfully, Ming Enhua interpreted the unexplained light that flashed in his eyes, and felt that this man had finally focused. You ask.He replied generously.At the same time, let go of the little hand that was held under the sleeve for a long time. Ming Enhua retracted his finally free hand into his sleeve, and wrapped it tightly with the other hand, not sure if he wanted to keep the warmth from above, or to comfort him.After taking a deep breath, she stood up and walked towards Concubine Zhang, asking: My first question: Your elder brother Zhang Zhifu passed the imperial martial arts examination in the thirty-eighth year of Hong Sheng, and because of his great strength and outstanding martial arts skills, he once won the eighth place in the martial arts exam, right? Concubine Zhang didn't understand why Mingxia Palace suddenly asked about the past eight years ago, although she was confused, she still nodded: Yes.My elder brother passed the examination based on his real skills and entered the Royal Dragon Martial Camp as an imperial guard.The tone is full of pride. The second question: When Ming Jinglian beat the imperial court official, belittled Princess Haiji, and insulted the Haizhong envoy, what happened at that time was the princess's guards, the Haizhong envoy's servants, and the emperor's special escort Yu Yu? Lin Huangwei and others, are there any who have not yet done their duty? Concubine Zhang was startled, her face changed slightly: How do I know this? !Ah, by the way, the princess is traveling in a micro-clothes, how can she put on a princess guard of honor and make people hug her?Of course, the number of personnel is reduced as much as possible! Ming Enhua ignored her and asked again: The third question: How many followers did Ming Jinglian, who was so bold at the time, bring with him? My Concubine Zhang was overwhelmed and completely speechless. Mrs. Ming answered quickly. Only six!My son only took six servants out!And only two of the six can do martial arts! Ming Enhua's question does not need to be explicitly answered.After she finished asking, she turned around and blessed Emperor Ziguang: Your majesty, the concubines are done asking. Emperor Ziguang looked at Ming Enhua fixedly, with a smile that was not a smile. I know that you have finished asking and expressing your opinion.very good.The tone was full of appreciation, and the half-drowned eyelids covered the gradually fierce expression. The emperor seemed to want to calm down about this matter, he didn't mention it anymore, and didn't let his ministers discuss it. He generously rewarded Princess Haiji with jewels and satin at the Thousand Lotus Banquet, and directly canonized Princess Haiji as the concubine of the Tibetan Hermitage; he generously promised Haizhong's preferential terms in maritime power and trade, so as to heal Haizhong's suffering during the Japanese Dynasty. The injustice that came. Throughout the night, sitting on his right hand was the favored Mingxia Palace, and on his left was the charming Princess Haiji.Even when the climax of the banquet was the talent show by ten female candidates who were waiting to be drafted in turn, the beautiful scenery on the stage did not make the emperor forget the need to take care of the two females around him from time to time. On this night, Emperor Ziguang's harem was officially full.There are all eight side concubines in the four main palaces. In the future, unless some of the twelve wives and concubines die or are dismissed and abolished, the emperor will no longer marry a wife. The emperor with a happy heart even recruited several children from aristocratic families who were idle at home into the imperial court as officials. Among them, he even gave the fat and oily position of food procurement in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the one who has been making big troubles recently and is known as the number one villain in the capital. The famous Ming Jinglian. Although this official is small, he takes care of the food for the whole palace, daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, fish, vegetables, fruits, etc., which one is not purchased by him?The money in and out of his hands is tens of thousands of taels a month! After everyone was stunned, they congratulated the Ming family enviously and jealously, but they had no choice but to do so. Who told them that they were now the most popular people in the eyes of the emperor.The emperor's decree of kindness was issued twice in three days, as if it was not enough, he was always worried about the Houze Ming family, and even employed the unlearned and incompetent. This kind of favor is paranoid, so how can everyone be careless? To curry favor with the Ming family?If something is good at the top, it must be praised at the bottom, which is just common sense. It wasn't just the other concubines and their dejected family members who were coldly treated, the faces of the Ming family members were also very stiff, as if they almost passed out or vomited blood, but Xie En had to force a smile and socialize one by one All congratulations, ramblings. In this banquet, except Emperor Ziguang, the Chinese envoys from the sea, and the women who were selected as concubines who were really enjoying this beautiful night, everyone else's thoughts were filled with the bitterness of lotus seeds and the sourness of black vinegar. . It's five o'clock. It's time for the emperor to get up. Yesterday, when the Thousand Lotus Banquet was in session, Emperor Ziguang announced the end of the feast, and let all the nobles, ministers, and relatives of the emperor go back to rest. Ming Enhua half sat up, quietly staring at the emperor who was still asleep.She woke up half an hour ago, looked at him for a long time, and was sure that she drank too much wine last night, causing her emperor husband-in-law to fall into a deep sleep, completely ignorant of human affairs.Because his face was defenseless, his handsome face was soothing and peaceful, not as usual with a trace of vigilance, as if he could wake up at any time. He slept so deeply that even if she were to stab him with a knife at this moment, she would probably wake up after the knife pierced his heart, right? She believed that he had rarely had the opportunity to sleep so deeply in his life.Because his thirty-two years of life were not smooth sailing, and one of the costs of being born in the royal family included a lifetime of restless sleep. I love you, Tianche.She stuttered a little at first, her voice was so thin that she almost couldn't hear her.But after he really spoke, he found that it was not difficult at all to tell the truth to him who was sleeping in the dark.This is the first time I open my heart to you, and it will be the last time.Because I firmly believe that from now on, it is impossible for me to have such an opportunity to see you who is sleeping.So something, I want to tell you now. She dared not touch him, although she wanted to.So she could only hold her hands together tightly to prevent any accident that she couldn't help herself at any moment. Our identities, there should be no love, it would make me dangerous and painful.So the moment I found myself falling in love with you, I knew I was done. You are very lucky, because your calmness and reason allow you to spend your life freely, and you don’t have to be trapped by love. It doesn’t seem right to say that, because, I also I used to claim to be calm and rational; so I think, maybe your greatest wealth is not calm and rational, but what you have, none of us are good enough, not good enough, to be the exception that breaks your rational defense.Nobody can make you feel like I do, in the dead of night, sad about the ones you love. She blinked, pushing back the fragile tears in her eyes.But he couldn't make his voice less hoarse: I know you want to get something from me, and you want to destroy something through me, because of your status as an emperor, you have to be on guard against everything, so you have to be nice to me, tease my feelings, let me If you value you, it is best to be proud of you, so that it is convenient for you to act.The tears still fell down, and she wiped them away helplessly. In your heart, first is the country, then the kingship, then the people, and finally yourself.If you don't put pleasure first, it is naturally impossible to take the harem seriously.Did you deliberately marry us women you don't like at all?Because you have never planned to keep any woman in your heart in your life, because it is harmful to the emperor's career, you don't want your life to become absurd because of women, and you also avoid having a bunch of sons, let them repeatedly fight for the throne and kill each other The drama of the family wants me to ask you for a child with that wish.However, I don't want to.You are so afraid of me now, if I have a child in the future, will I still have a way out?I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of never seeing you again. Having said that, she fell silent, feeling dull and miserable. I can't help but think of the questions that my elder sister asked her to think about six years ago: If one day, the interests of the royal family and the Ming family conflict, as the daughter of the Ming family and the daughter-in-law of the royal family, what will you do? You have to know how to love a crown prince, or emperor. For the emperor, just loving him is not enough.sister said.If you are not strong enough, it will only be his burden; if you are too strong, he will have to get rid of you.It is not easy to love an emperor. Back then, when she was thinking hard about the conflict of interests, what should the Ming family do.Later, she told her sister that apart from the fact that the Ming family rebelled against the country and she could only sit back and wait to punish the nine clans, she was helpless.It's not that the king can't tolerate heroes, but that the meritorious service is too high, and rewards are rewarded again and again until there is no more rewards. Since he can't abdicate the throne, he has to beheaded. If the empress of the Ming family gains power in the palace, then the Ming family cannot be the most powerful in the court; and if the Ming family has repeatedly made great achievements in the court, then the empress in the palace had better hide her strength and bide her time.If the affairs of the world can't go smoothly like this, then it will be very rich, and Ning Bo's name does not hold real power.Don't let so many Ming family children take important positions in the court.Like her, she appreciates her father's refusal to serve as a court official, and takes the official title of a Hanlin bachelor. After the age of forty, he becomes a doctor in the Taixue under the Imperial College. He is not a threat to others and enjoys a very high reputation.How nice it is! At that time, she answered innocently, making her sister laugh and say nothing, and she didn't know whether she agreed or disagreed. It is really not easy for my sister to love an emperor, and it is very painful. He won't love you, the kindness he treats you now is not just for nothing, it has to be paid back, and he will fight back with double pain in the future. Sister, I know this is the case, but I don't want to accept my fate.Sister, am I greedy? After another moment, she heard the faint sound of someone walking and talking outside the bedroom.It should be that the dressing attendant is waiting outside anxiously, and came again to inquire if the emperor is up yet? She half lifted the gauze curtain, watching the dim light of the sky come in through the white window paper.thinking about waking him up Ah, Your Majesty, you are awake!Looking at Emperor Ziguang again, he found that his sleepy handsome eyes were blinking, as if he was half asleep and half awake. No, I didn't wake up and closed my eyes after speaking. This man actually stays in bed!Ming Enhua blinked and blinked, in disbelief. The person who claimed that he was not awake stretched out his long arms, hooked her around her waist, pressed her to his chest, and entangled her tightly. She laughed so itchy, she pressed her palms flat against his chest, and rested her chin lightly on it, just in time to look directly at Ziguangdi's handsome and lazy face.A moment of obstinacy arose, and I recited "The Crowing of the Rooster" The rooster is crowing, and the court is full. Emperor Ziguang paused, half-opened his eyes, looked at her expression so sexy, and replied: Bandit chickens crow, the sound of flies. She tried her best not to laugh, and said: The east is bright, and the dynasty is prosperous. The bandit is bright in the east, the light of the moon.Insects fly away, Gan and Zi share the same dream.One turned over, pressed her under him, and kissed her chaotically. She couldn't breathe, and the little hands she tried to resist were entangled by his palms. Will return and return, there is no concubine to give to the son monk. After all, she was pestered by him once after all. So, on this day, on the way from the Mingxia Palace to the Xuanzheng Hall of the Shanghuang Palace, the scene of the emperor rushing to the morning court and a group of attendants rushing to change clothes was staged again.
